Here's a picture from 1977.

Wow! What a strange looking world! Look at all the malnourished people! Where are all of the Baron/Baroness Harkonnens in their ECVs? Where are all of the SUV strollers occupied by 12-year-olds?

Look at the poor children near the trash can being forced to walk! I hope someone reported those monstrous parents to Security!

And FYI, that picture is the best of two worlds. Trees, but small ones. I can still see the Castle.

Here's a picture from 1977. The trees have gotten about 6 years larger!

I know...it's a travesty. In the whole picture I can only spot one stroller. So not only were they malnourished...they were also very poor.


No wonder most kids these days are overweight...they never exercise.

everyone was in shape because they were running back and forth between ticket counters to pick up some more ticket booklets after they ran out of their e tickets for country bears and haunted mansion :lookaroun

But, I do think that it is slightly justified so that a show as big as Wishes can be seen.

Wishes takes place above the castle ... I am sure the view would have been just as good with the trees. Unless your one of those people who likes to stand right next to the castle and look straight up at it.

It is a shame to loose such a beautiful piece of the landscape. What is an even bigger tragedy is how unhealthy we look today compared to the general public from years past. Society need's to get off its collective and walk off the fat from years of self indulgence.

God, I just miss that view ... lush greenery replaced by concrete.

Magical!:hammer::brick::cry:



While I agree with you as far as preferring the trees over the way it is now, I would hardly call that LUSH greenery.

It is a few mature trees. Let's not make things out to be more than they were.

Not for the side launches. Those would be blocked.

And no, I watch from the Hub Bridge. Left side, third light post. :) :lol:

I have no idea what your issues with the diets of horsies has to do with anything and I'm getting tired ... but for coming up with that uber-kewl smiley, you get my poster of the week award.

Congrats! But that's all you get!

(you don't happen to have a lawn-mowing smiley? we could use that for discussions on waxing!:D)

I love when I say something and no one knows what the hell I'm talking about. :D

Did they hire you to mow the lawn on Corcovado?
